This made me laugh LOL  LOL  LOL

MILWAUKEE - A 56-year-old Milwaukee man is accused of shooting his lawn mower because it wouldn’t start.

Keith Walendowski was charged with felony possession of a short-barreled shotgun or rifle and misdemeanor disorderly conduct while armed.

According to the criminal complaint, Walendowski said he was angry because his Lawn Boy wouldn’t start Wednesday morning. He was quoted as telling police: “I can do that, it’s my lawn mower and my yard so I can shoot it if I want.“

A woman who lives at Walendowski’s house reported the incident. She says he was intoxicated.

Walendowski could face up to an $11,000 fine and six years and three months in prison if convicted.

A call to Walendowski’s home went unanswered Friday morning.

I’d feel safe wagering that ALL calls to Walendowski’s home went unanswered Friday morning…

He was either spooning his shot gun, in jail or with a hang over, and the resulting call made him shoot his phone. =)
